House Cleaning in Sherman Oaks, CA

It depends on the house and who is in it. Busy family homes on the flat blocks north of Ventura Boulevard usually settle on every week or every other week. Smaller condos and apartments where one or two people live often do fine monthly. Larger hillside houses tend to want every other week with the lower level rotated in. We will tell you what we think fits after we see the place.

The kitchen counters, sink, stovetop, and appliance exteriors. The bathrooms including tub, shower, toilet, sink, and mirror. Dusting of reachable surfaces, beds made, floors vacuumed and mopped, and trash emptied. Things like inside the oven, inside the refrigerator, and grout scrubbing belong to a deep clean, and we can add any of them as a line item.

Often, yes. A recurring visit is built to hold a home at baseline, not to dig it out on the first day. If the home has gone more than a couple of months without a professional clean, we usually start with one deep clean and then hold it with standard visits. If it has been kept up well we will say so and start you on the regular rate.

Yes, and they are a large part of our regular work here. The flat blocks between Riverside Drive, Magnolia Boulevard, and Burbank Boulevard are full of them, most built between the 1940s and the 1960s, and they clean on a very predictable rhythm: one level, hard floors, a compact kitchen, and one or two original bathrooms.

Yes. Homes off Valley Vista Boulevard, Longridge Avenue, and the streets climbing toward Mulholland Drive are usually spread over two or three levels with several bathrooms, long runs of stairs, and a lot of glass facing the canyon. That is more hours than a flat lot house of the same nominal size, and we scope it that way in the estimate rather than discovering it on the day.

Yes. There is a lot of that stock here, from mid century courtyard buildings along Dickens Street and Hazeltine Avenue to newer condo buildings on and just off Ventura Boulevard. Give us the building access at booking, including a call box code, a gate, or a preferred entrance, and the crew arrives ready instead of standing at the door.

Wherever you tell us to. On the flat grid north of the boulevard there is normally room at the curb or in the driveway. On the hill streets, parking can be genuinely tight and some blocks have posted restrictions, so we ask at booking whether we should use the driveway, a carport space, or a specific spot. In a building, tell us if there is a visitor space or a garage clearance limit.

Most of our Sherman Oaks work is done that way. Customers leave a code, a lockbox, a key with a neighbor, or building instructions, and come back to a finished home. If you would rather be there, that is fine too. We walk the home with you or send a short note before we leave either way.

That is how we run it. A regular Sherman Oaks route means the same small team returns to your home, which is the whole point of a recurring schedule: they already know your floors, your pets, and where things go. If someone is out we tell you in advance rather than sending a stranger unannounced.

Yes, plenty of them. Tell us what animals you have so we bring the right vacuum attachments and plan for hair on baseboards, upholstery, and under furniture. Also tell us whether a dog should be crated, left in the yard, or is fine loose with the crew, and we follow that.

Dishes in the sink and a general tidy so surfaces can actually be cleaned are normal parts of a visit. Laundry, folding, and a full closet or playroom reset are add ons, priced as line items on the estimate so you know before we start. Say what you want covered when you book.

Yes, one text does it. There is no contract and no cancellation penalty on a recurring plan. We only ask for as much notice as you can give so the crew's day can be rearranged. If you skip several visits in a row the home may need a longer catch up clean, and we will flag that in advance rather than surprise you with it.

Yes, all of it. Products, cloths, mops, and vacuums come in the van, so nothing has to be set out or stored for us. If you prefer we use your own vacuum on a delicate floor, or a particular product on a stone counter, leave it out with a note and we will use it.

Yes, with the right product for each. A lot of Sherman Oaks homes have original mid century tile in the kitchens and bathrooms, hardwood or refinished floors, and newer stone in remodeled kitchens, sometimes all in one house. We treat each surface as what it is, and if a floor should only be damp mopped rather than wet, tell us and we will.

Not as standard, because those two eat the hours a regular visit needs elsewhere. They are part of a deep clean, or they can be added to any standard visit as a line item. Many customers add the oven a couple of times a year and leave the rest on the normal list.

A one bedroom apartment off Hazeltine Avenue is quick. A three bedroom ranch home on the flat is a few hours. A large hillside house with four or five bathrooms and multiple levels can take a full day on a first visit and less once it is on a schedule. Your estimate includes a time range so you can plan the day.

Interior glass, sills, and tracks can be part of a standard visit if you ask for them, and they are included in a deep clean. Exterior windows above the ground floor are not our trade, which comes up often on the multi level hillside homes here, and we will point you to a window company rather than pretend otherwise.

Yes. Detached units are common on the deeper lots here, both on the flat and behind hillside homes, and they are usually a small addition to the main visit. Mention it at booking so it is in the estimate, since a separate kitchen and bathroom add real time.

The honest answer is that the price depends on the size of the home, the number of bathrooms, whether this is a first visit or a regular one, and how the home has been used up to now. That is why every job starts with a free written estimate rather than a flat rate lifted off a website. Text or call (818) 414-8012 with the number of bedrooms and bathrooms and roughly what you need, and we send a real figure back, usually the same day. No card is needed to hold the slot.

Yes. Honest Maids is a family owned company based in Reseda, and every cleaner is our own employee, screened and trained by us before their first visit. Nothing is subcontracted, so the person at your door in Sherman Oaks is on our payroll and in our uniform. If anything looks wrong after we leave, tell us and we come back to fix it.

We bring every supply and machine with us, so nothing has to be set out. Our standard kit uses products that are safe around pets and children, and where a surface calls for something stronger we tell you first and use the mildest option that will do the job. If you prefer a specific brand, a fragrance free product, or a green line, tell us and we will use it.

For a regular clean in Sherman Oaks we can usually reach you the same week, and a small job sometimes fits the same day. Move outs and post construction jobs need more lead time. The fastest way to check is a text. We are staffed Monday to Saturday, eight in the morning to six in the evening, and messages outside those hours are answered the next working morning.

You pay after the clean is complete, once you have walked the home and everything is right. We take card, bank transfer, Zelle, cash, or check. Recurring customers are usually set up on a saved card that runs after each visit, but that is optional and there is no card on file for a first visit.

Every visit carries a plain guarantee: if something is not right, tell us within seven days and we come back to fix it, at no charge. We do not ask you to argue for it or fill out a form. We would rather return and put it right than leave a customer in Sherman Oaks feeling like they paid for something they did not get.
